Re: Llewellyn Loco Works #1
... Yeah, it is nice to have the materials in stock and when I don't I order other sizes with what I need. I set up the tools for tomorrow in mind and so they are on hand. I sort of went to Town a few years ago when I finally set up the Red Room. It had to be a separate room from the bike workshop ...

Re: Faller mini play train
Love the railbusses, nice find. Sorry about the nail, goes with the territory unfortunately. I do try and be careful but my fingers are littered with scars, burns and grazes, but least I still have them all!

Re: Welshpool & Llanfair in the states
I like it, nice and simple. Is the idea that it can be dismantled over winter?

Agree with Don. We'll driven as well, your club driver has a smooth touch. When do you get your passenger licence?

Re: The Circle Line
WARNING: LONG POSTING After running a 5" gauge line for a few weeks now, I thought I would write down some reflections on building the Circle Line. 1. Building a 5" gauge railway, even a mini 66 foot long one like mine, is no small task. I haven't diligently recorded the hours but it's tak...

Thanks for posting.

Re: Semi-scale BR: Strictly Bulleid*
Excellent. Why shouldn't you envisage another narrow gauge SR line, most of our railways are fictional based on personally selected facts!

Re: First steam run of 2019 - where does the time go??
Nice video, I didn't spot the continuity error. As others have said your line does thread through some narrow gaps (who mentioned kinetic envelope?) and I bet there are a few places you are praying there are no derailments or you run out of steam! That said your line is nicely landscaped, pity you h...

Re: The Circle Line
Great fit there Dave, I have been looking at PNP track myself just so I can have a small run up and down my drive or in the garden. Thanks Tom. The PNP plastic sleepers and chairs self assembly is pretty good and easy to put together if a little tedious if you have a lot of panels to do. I have a f...

Re: The Circle Line
Thanks for the comments Don and Rod, much appreciated. I have installed the sidings track panel and it now looks like this, just big enough to fit a bogie wagon / driving truck. As I said yesterday I have put a gentle slope on the siding so the truck rolls gently into the buffers (circled yellow). I...

Re: The Circle Line
I took advantage of today's nice weather to install my point. It wasn't too bad a job. I cut out the portion of track corresponding to where I wanted the points to go, squared off the ends with a file, drilled a couple of holes in each end rail to take the fish plate bolts (the points came pre-drill...
